Zheng Ren ignored the malice in Cen Meng's words and led the stretcher trolley to the treatment room.
In the upper right corner of his field of vision, a brief summary of the patient's condition and all the medical reports appeared.
However, he still performed a simple physical examination on the patient, not to confirm the diagnosis, but to find the surgical approach.
The patient was a 19-year-old female who was 28 weeks pregnant. There was a small amount of dark red blood flowing out of her lower body. The tender point on the abdomen was close to the right middle of the abdomen. There was tenderness, no rebound pain or muscle tension.
The inflammation of the appendix was not serious. It was the patient's other conditions that were serious.
While arranging for an indwelling venous access, he called for the obstetrics chief resident for consultation. Zheng Ren's eyebrows furrowed. It was difficult to solve this tricky condition perfectly. It all depended on luck.
The obstetrics chief resident quickly ran to the first general surgery department. No one would dawdle in an emergency consultation that involved a human life.
After the chief resident examined the pregnant woman, Zheng Ren called the patient's family members to the doctor's office for preoperative briefing.
"The signs of threatened abortion are clear. We need to solve the triggering factors as soon as possible," the obstetrics chief resident said. "Only by removing the appendix as soon as possible can the child be saved."
"Will the appendectomy affect the child?" a middle-aged man asked anxiously.
Zheng Ren was helpless. In their eyes, the child was more important than the sky. As for the poor pregnant woman … Apart from the doctors, no one cared about her feelings.
No one even cared about her life or death. She was just a machine that gave birth to children.
"Generally speaking, there won't be," Zheng Ren comforted.
However, after hearing Zheng Ren's explanation, a middle-aged woman's legs turned to jelly. She fell to the ground along the wall and started wailing.
There were only dry howls, no tears.
As he howled, he seemed to be mumbling something.
Zheng Ren was not in the mood to watch her act. With a straight face, he asked the patient's family members to stay behind and the rest to leave the office. Those who needed to howl should do so, while those who needed to go through the hospitalization procedures should go through the procedures.
He could not afford to be weak at this time. Otherwise, it would delay the patient's treatment.
The patient was the doctor's target. To a certain extent, the patient's family had nothing to do with the doctor.
After some peace and quiet, Zheng Ren began to explain the surgery to the patient's husband, who was also the young man, as well as the patient's parents and in-laws.
With every preoperative instruction, the patient's husband and parents-in-law would ask if it would affect the child. The patient's parents hid in the corner with gloomy expressions and did not say a word.
Sea City General Hospital was the hospital with the best medical technology in the area. The patient's family had no better choice. The patient's condition also required surgery. Otherwise, the child would not be able to survive.
When it came time to sign, the patient's family members were very hesitant. No one wanted to sign, and they kept pushing it back and forth. There was no one in the family who could bear the burden.
Zheng Ren said angrily, "Do you still want to protect the child?!"
Under King Kong's angry gaze and the threat of the child's life, the patient's family reluctantly signed the preoperative statement.
At this time, the admission procedures had been completed. Zheng Ren began to give medical advice, contact the operating theater, and then went to change.
If an ordinary person was faced with such a cold and indifferent family, they would definitely feel cold. Even a nurse in the operating theater like Xie Yiren, a medical staff who did not come into contact with the patient's family, was the same.
However, Zheng Ren had seen it many times and was numb to it.
Zheng Ren did not dare to say if he could save the child. The most important thing in his heart was to save the adult.
Was there even a need to think about protecting a child or an adult?
As for the future … It had nothing to do with him.
As he walked toward the operating theater, he pondered about the patient's tender points and the position of the incision.
Due to the pressure of the uterus during pregnancy, all cases of appendicitis during pregnancy were ectopic appendicitis. The situation was much more complicated than the ectopic appendicitis performed in the afternoon.
As soon as he changed, the anesthesiologist on duty pushed the door open angrily. The door slammed into the wall and made a loud noise.
He shouted at Zheng Ren, "What kind of statement is this? The patient's family doesn't agree to anesthesia. Go and talk to them yourself. "
"…" Zheng Ren was stunned.
They didn't agree to anesthesia? What was going on? Were they here to treat the patient or to cause trouble?
Zheng Ren grabbed the white coat and put it on, changed into his shoes, and strode toward the entrance of the operating theater.
"Doctor, we know that even if the child is saved with anesthesia, it will be born stupid. Please don't anesthetize it." The patient's husband saw Zheng Ren rushing over and quickly pulled on his sleeve.
"Doctor, we know that even if the child is saved with anesthesia, it will be born stupid. Please don't anesthetize it." The patient's husband saw Zheng Ren rushing over and quickly tugged at his sleeve.
"F * ck, if you don't anesthetize me, I'll stab you!" Zheng Ren was furious.
"Who are you scolding?!" One of the patient's family members shouted.
"Do we do the surgery or not? If we don't, the child will be lost! "Zheng Ren knew that at this time, he could only use his aura to overwhelm the other party.
To this group of people, the unborn child was the most important bargaining chip.
"If you can't save the child, you'll pay with your life!" The patient's father, who had been silent all this time, suddenly shouted from behind the crowd.
Looking at his weather-beaten face, the once honest but now slightly ferocious expression, Zheng Ren's heart suddenly went numb, as if it had been hit by an electric current.
Zheng Ren had seen too many gangsters in the emergency room. No matter what, he had to protect the patient's interests from the doctor's point of view.
But now, in the face of such accusations and threats, Zheng Ren felt powerless. Even the patient's parents did not care. Who did he think he was?
Even with the help of the System, some things were difficult to change.
"Doctor …" At that moment, a hand grabbed Zheng Ren's hand.
His palm was sweaty and slightly trembling. Zheng Ren turned around and saw the silent 19-year-old pregnant woman lying on the stretcher trolley in pain.
"Doctor, I don't need anesthesia. I can bear it."
Her bangs were wet with sweat and stuck weakly to her forehead. Because of the pain, there was an unhealthy blush on her face. However, her eyes were very bright, which made Zheng Ren wonder if it was the final radiance of the setting sun.
Zheng Ren used the System to identify the patient's condition several times, but he did not find any mental disorders. He frowned and asked, "If the pain is severe, it will trigger the body to react and cause the uterus to contract, aggravating the miscarriage."
"I can bear it, I definitely can." Two lines of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes. "Please, doctor."
Local anesthesia. That was the only option.
"Then let's do it."
Zheng Ren wanted to glare at the patient's family but felt that it was meaningless.
He wanted to comfort the pregnant woman but did not know what to say.
After a deep sigh, he pushed the patient's family aside and pushed the patient into the operating room.
"Chief Zheng, is it done?" the anesthesiologist asked when he saw Zheng Ren push the patient's family in.
"Local anesthesia," Zheng Ren said.
"You're crazy!" The anesthesiologist was shocked. "Who will be responsible if something happens under local anesthesia?!"
"Without anesthesia, the surgery will be delayed. If the miscarriage really happens, who will be responsible?" Zheng Ren asked.
This was a fallacy and there was no answer.
The anesthesiologist was silent. Seeing Zheng Ren's determination, he knew that he was ready to shoulder all the responsibility and came forward to help push the patient in.
"Why don't you have an assistant?" the anesthesiologist asked.
"There's no choice. There's no one in the emergency department."
"You … Sigh." All the words he wanted to say turned into a sigh.
Cen Meng, who had been following him, immediately left the crowd when he learned that Zheng Ren was going to perform an appendectomy under local anesthesia. He ran straight down the stairs without even taking the elevator.
When he reached the surgical demonstration classroom, he pretended to be calm and called Chief Surgeon Liu out. He could not wait for Chief Surgeon Liu to leave and excitedly whispered in Chief Surgeon Liu's ear, "Chief, Zheng Ren wants local anesthesia."
